In the evening, Xie Mulin received a post in the name of Aunt Li, inviting her to come to the latter's boat for tea tomorrow morning.

It's just that Xie Mulin looked at the familiar handwriting on the post and guessed that Xiao Rui was inviting her.

Could it be that Xiao Rui wants to meet her in his biological mother's cabin? But Aunt Li was not the only passenger on the boat, but also the ladies of other families. Xiao Rui must be well known when he gets on the boat, if he meets Xie Mulin at Aunt Li's place under such conditions, I am afraid that it will be known to everyone in a blink of an eye. Although the two will officially marry sooner or later, isn't it too secretive to do this now?

Xie Mulin was a little hesitant.

However, there was a cold wind blowing outside, and Xiao Rui had previously asked Xie Huizhi to pass the word, saying that the weather was too cold, and he was afraid that she would freeze, so he would not invite her to meet at a certain shop on the dock. Xie Mulin was afraid that he would delay his business, so he immediately replied to the person who came, promising to go on time tomorrow morning as a guest.

Just waiting for the person who sent the post to leave, Xie Yinghui found Xie Mulin and said with some dissatisfaction: "What's going on?" Why did the aunt of the General Mansion of the Pillar Kingdom invite you to tea? She is an aunt, what a big face! ”

Xie Mulin hurriedly borrowed his brothers as a shield: "It has nothing to do with the General Mansion of the Pillar State, Xiao Rui has a friendship with the brothers in our family, especially with the third brother." He is now in the Yanwang Mansion, and we will definitely have many opportunities to deal with him in the future, so it is good to meet his mother beforehand. In fact, a shop owner I am familiar with, Gu Niangzi, is a good friend of this Aunt Li, and thanks to Gu Niangzi, Aunt Li brought us pasta, so we didn't go hungry because it was difficult to buy food due to heavy rain for several days. The eldest sister thought it was me who thanked me in the past. ”

When Xie Yinghui heard this, her face softened slightly: "Even so, the identity is different, and this Aunt Li shouldn't be too big." I have heard that Xiao Rui is very important to King Yan, and if he takes him with him all day long, Xiao Rui's biological mother will naturally rise with the tide. But General Xiao is still there, and his concubine followed his son to the foreign office, which is not very beneficial. I'm afraid that this Xiao Rui will rely on King Yan's favor, so there is no one in his eyes, and his biological mother will also be rampant. If you go there alone, you're afraid you'll suffer. You've always been a Sven, and you're not good at arguing with people......"

Xie Mulin laughed when he heard this: "Where did it get to this point?" Shouldn't the eldest sister be accustomed to the remarks of the Cao family, and always regard the people from Xiao Guifei's mother's side as bad people? I always like to think badly about people when I encounter problems. Don't worry, I don't know anything about Aunt Li, and I know Xiao Rui's temperament. Tomorrow I'll just go over and sit down, have tea and talk, and then I'll be back. Aunt Li is not without others on the boat, and I also have peaches with me, what can I lose? ”

Xie Yinghui knew that this second sister had always had an idea, and when she said this, she had to reluctantly retreat: "Okay, you can go, just remember to bring two more people, even if you don't bring them into the cabin, you have to tell them to stay on the deck." If someone is rude to you, you have someone to call on. ”

How could Xie Mulin bring so many people to see Aunt Li? What if you meet Xiao Rui? She responded in vain, but turned back and left the matter behind.

Soon after, Wanqin returned to the ship. She looked tired and anxious, and didn't even go out for dinner. Xie Yingfen quietly called Ginkgo over to ask questions as usual, and learned that Wanqin had been around the dock for most of the day today, staring at the shop selling silk and silk yarn and cotton cloth, and had also gone in to pick and buy things, but she had never had an unusual conversation with anyone in the store. Until she returned to the ship, she remained in this state, as if she was getting more and more agitated. However, there are many shops selling clothes in the Cangzhou Wharf, and Ginkgo followed a walk, but there is no guarantee that Wanqin has visited every store, but I am afraid that I will continue to shop tomorrow.

Wanqin once went to a tea shop to rest, when Ginkgo went to the counter to get snacks, when she came back, she vaguely heard Wanqin muttering: "If I knew this, I wouldn't burn the list!" Although there was only such an ordinary sentence, Wanqin saw Ginkgo go back, so she never mentioned it again.

Xie Yingfen went to Xie Mulin privately to discuss this matter, suspecting that Wanqin might have obtained a list of the Cao family's intelligence stations, but she secretly burned it again, and did not remember the location of the store above. So now, whenever she docks in Dagang City, she always has to look for a shop selling clothes on the dock, but she can't find the specific location of the target.

Xie Mulin believes that there is no need for them to startle the snake at the moment, anyway, more than one side of the forces has already sent people to target Wanqin. As long as Wanqin continues to look for those Cao family stations, there will always be a chance to contact the main master. When the time comes, the stalker will only need to remember the addresses of those stations and the people in charge. The Cao family is not unlucky yet, and it is not yet time to uproot these people.

The next morning, Xie Mulin freshened up, put on the winter clothes made this year, put on a chic golden hairpin, and put on a cotton cloak tightly, before leaving the cabin to have breakfast with his sisters.

Xie Yinghui and Xie Yingfen both knew that she was going out to be a guest today, so they didn't take it to heart, and only told her to take care of the cold and hold the hand stove steadily.

Xie Yingrong stared at the new clothes and new jewelry on her body, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she turned her head.

When Xie Mulin finished breakfast and got off the boat, Xie Yingrong pretended to be casual and asked Xie Yingfen: "Where is the second sister going?" Which lady are you going to? ”

Xie Yingfen's expression was faint: "It's to be a guest on the ship of King Yan's Mansion." Aunt Li from the General Zhuguo Mansion sent us a lot of food a few days ago, which helped us a lot, and now the second sister came over to thank us. ”

"Aunt Li from the General Mansion?" Xie Yingrong looked puzzled, "Who is this?" Why is she on the ship of King Yan's Mansion? ”

"She is the biological mother of Xiao Ergongzi. Xiao Ergongzi entered the Yanwang Mansion and took his aunt to take office. Xie Yingfen was impatient to talk to her more, and got up and left after casually answering a few words. As for Xie Yinghui? She was asking Lu Qi to deliver something to her brother's boat, but she didn't even glance at Xie Yingrong.

Xie Yingrong showed a look of shock.

Xiao Ergongzi...... Isn't it Xiao Rui? Isn't he the confidant of the three princes, and later because of his life experience, he displeased the three princes and died in vain? At this time, he should have joined the palace guard and become an important arm of the three princes to win the heir, right?! How did you go to the Yanwang Mansion?!

When Xie Yingrong was in his hometown in Huyin County, he also heard that the third brother Xie Huizhi had a good relationship with the second son of Xiao, and the two also opened a shop together. If she didn't know that this future uncle would not end well, she was still a little moved at the time, and considered whether to take Xie Huizhi's hand to him, but finally gave up. The eldest son of the Xiao family is a worthy person to marry, but he has already married a wife, this second son of Xiao died very unjustly, and it is not good for her at all to get involved with him, so she doesn't commit this stupidity!

But it was precisely because he knew Xiao Rui's life trajectory that Xie Yingrong felt puzzled at this time.

The right-hand man of the three princes actually entered the Yanwang Mansion to serve, and he will be far away from the capital in the future, so what will the three princes do? What other reliable helpers does he have by his side at this time? Without Xiao Rui, would he still be able to sit in that seat smoothly?!
